So I noticed my heat shield was rattling and whatnot and got tired of it. I didn't want to tear it off either. I figure it was placed there for a reason, so I'll leave it be.

Had to fix it in 3 spots. I recycled 2 of the pressed sheet metal nuts or whatever they're called. At Crappy Tire I found a set of "push on nuts" in the little help section. $5.. but when I asked for those other nuts anywhere they looked at me like I was retarded.

Then used some old soup can lids, cut them a bit smaller in diameter, drilled a hole in the center, and voila, instant big washers that may last a bit longer than the original design (no washer). Much bigger surface area, so hopefully the nuts won't work through the shield as fast.

And that was that. Just don't cut your fingers to shreds cutting out the lids.
